    I was actually looking through my photos for the shot of this cover I grabbed a few months ago. Looks like I was beaten to it.

    Any idea if Bobby Rosengarden is a drummer or percussionist on this album?

    I don’t see his name in the credits on the back.

    At an estate sale I recently came across a similar album by Dick Schory, also with a funny cover photo. I would have bought it, except someone had stuck a piece of masking tape on the front cover with the words “valuable collectors album” written on it. They had it almost right. It was a valuable collectors album until they put the tape across the cover.

    Strangest thing about this? A caveman wearing glasses.
